Idk about average tackling ability… if you have 117 tackles as a sophomore and make all-state in TX you don’t have average tackles ability. I would say above average which can become top notch with good coaching (hope we can provide that). A few years back our defensive strength was our tackling and after Diaz left (as DC) that fell off. Look for tackling to improve again and 9 plus guys at the ball swarming again! I think this dude is a baller and I am a former LB who made it to CFL level and coached LBs for a few years afterwards. I know what a good LB looks like. I think he will be better than anyone on roster right now when it’s all said and done. There’s a reason he has all these offers.
